DEVIOUS D - INTERVIEW On a Monday night and after a long weekend we tracked down Devious D in his home town of Ilford in Essex - for an update on what's been happening since his career took off way back in 1989! What is your real name & how old are you? My names Adrian & I'm 23 years old. What made you want to become a DJ? I used to go out raving & I really liked the music - I watched the DJ's & when I heard how much money they were making - I thought I could do that - so that's why I got into DJ-ing! What job were you doing before you came a DJ? I was an office Junior & I got the sack - so it put me on the spot - so I concentrated on my DJ-ing! What does being a DJ involve? Getting up at 1pm in the afternoon -(Devious laughs)- Ringing up promoters for work - when you playing out & its 4am in the morning feeling shattered and you've got to do another two places before you can go to bed! Where do you go to buy records? Blackmarket, Lucky Spin, Section 5, Bassline Records & Boogie Times - I also get quite a lot of plates cut. Where was your first 'big break'? At Telepathy, Marshgate lane - I was playing in the small room & somebody didn't turn up in the main arena - so that's where I get my break. What's your favourite places to play? Club Kinetic & Telepathy. On average, how many events do you play at per weekend? - On average 4 to 5. Have you played abroad? I've been abroad a couple of times - France, Germany & Ireland! When your playing, do you like having MC's with you & do you have a favourite MC? I like some - some know what there doing - some just go on & on & when your trying to mix & - shout all over the mixing! I usually have Jay J with me & he is my favourite to MC over my set. Which of your fellow DJ's do you rate? I rate Slipmatt, Ron, Randall, Hype & Mickey Finn for the way they play. Have any DJ's inspired you? Yes - Slipmatt was the main DJ who inspired me! What record labels do you rate? X-project, Suburban Base, Moving Shadow, Back 2 Basics, Face, Ibiza, Kemmet, 3rd Party, Renk + M-Beat (except you know who!) & Ganja Records. Why do you think Jungle is so big at the moment? It's been a gradual thing which has built up over the last couple of years and this year its gone "Boom"! The attendances at Jungle and Hardcore raves seem to have doubled this year which is very good for the scene! 6 THE SCENE MAGAZINE

Why do you think you've been a successful DJ? Sticking at it really! When I started it was so hard to get a play - If you keep at it, Eventually you will get a break! Also being versatile in what music you play also helps - I can play Hardcore or Jungle so I can cater for 2 different types of promoters. Where does your name come from? It comes from when I was at school - I was always in trouble so my nickname was devious. If you get a quiet night & you decide to go out to a club or event do you have any favourites? On a Friday - Club telepathy or Paradise Club; on a Saturday - A.W.O.L. What other types of music do you listen to? I just listen to Jungle or Ragga. Do you have any plans for the future? I'm taking the future as it comes - I'm going to keep on doing what I'm doing and see what happens - & I'm going to keep making tunes. And finally any shouts? MC Jay J, Phil - Jungle fever, Brett & Kenny - Telepathy, Kingsley & Everton - Roast, MC Five 'O' & MC Moose, Roger & Tom (Bassline Records), All the seven kings massive, Randall, Ron, Mickey Finn, Hype, Slipmatt, All the Awesome massive, Kool FM, Weekend Rush, all London massive & everyone involved in the scene!

MOVING SHADOW RECORDS After lots and lots of phone calls we finally manage to get an exclusive insight into the world of Moving Shadow Records as told by its owner Mr. Rob Playford...... SCENE How long has moving shadow been going? R.P Its been going for 4 years, this is our 5th year in the business SCENE Where did the name come from? R.P The logo was designed first, but we didn't have a name to go with it! I was out one night and I was looking at shadows on a wall and the name Moving Shadow came to mind! SCENE What was Moving Shadows first release and who did it? R.P The 1st release was called Orbital Project which was a four track e.p, done by yours truly. SCENE What has been your best selling record? R.P Our best selling record was called 'Bombscare' by 2 Bad Mice and it sold 33,000 copies SCENE Why do you think Moving Shadow has been so successful? R.P We keep things in perspective and we don't go to far out on a limb with any of our styles. We make music sound exciting and unlike any other music which is our secret really. SCENE What other labels do you rate? R.P Back 2 Basics, Ram Records (Andy C's Label) All the V stuff and Suburban Base. SCENE How big is your DJ mailing list? R.P It's MASSIVE!! and there is an even bigger waiting list! SCENE What DJ's do you rate at the moment? R.P There are a lot of top DJ's which are good at the moment but for me Randall is at the top! SCENE Do you get a lot of P A work at raves? R.P We don't do a lot of P A work, we don't really have time to chase it up and to be honest we enjoy going out and partying and we prefer to go out to a club or event to see something rather than being the thing that people go out to see! SCENE What is your involvement with Section 5 records in Chelsea? R.P I'm involved as a partner with Steve and that is all. Section 5 records are not an outlet to solely promote and sell Moving Shadow Products. It is a record shop which sells the best in Hardcore! JUNGLE! and DRUM and BASS! SCENE Do you sell any of your Merchandise? R.P At the moment our merchandise is exclusive for our artists! But we have had so many people phoning and writing to us asking when we will have Merchandise out. We are currently working on merchandise which will be on sale soon! SCENE What are your plans for the Moving Shadow for the future? R.P We don't want to get too big, so we become commercial and lose touch of the scene we are involved in! We are well organised which is why we have a high profile regarding our record label, which we hope to maintain! A lot of other labels have also been well organised which is why they have been going as long as us! SCENE Before you do your shouts is there anything you would like to add to your interview? R.P Yes! A lot of people think Moving Shadow are bigger than we are. In a way some people are snubbing us and forgetting about us and trying to do their own thing, we haven't gone up at all and we are keeping well down on the scene, we have had a lot of opportunities to get out of the scene and into other more commercial music, but we've always kept underground! SCENE And finally Rob your shouts? R.P YES! S.R.D. for distributing our records U.K and Worldwide. Sean and Simon (The other parts of moving Shadow and 2 Bad Mice) and also my left and right hand men!!) A big shout out to everyone involved in The Scene - DJ's, MC's Promoters etc...... Many thanks to the Moving Shadow crew especially Rob Playford, Steve, Mark, Semtex, Sean, Simon and Flux for your time and until next time - "BONJOUR" (QUOTE - DEL BOY ONLY FOOLS & HORSES) INTERVIEW: TERRY TURBO

SECTION 5 RECORDS REVIEW After hearing so much about modelling agencys, good looking guys and girls, rich sugar mummies and daddies we decided to go for a stroll on the Kings Road to look for a rather posh shop called Section 5 which sells that rather splendid hardcore jungle bass music you know what we mean old bean - Oh here we are! Section 5 records lets you go in and browse! SCENE Hello Steve we've come to ask you some questions on your splendid record shop! Steve OK - Fire away! SCENE When did your record shop first start? Steve We started Section 5 Records in February 1994! SCENE Where did the name come from? Steve My partner Rob Playford used to have a record label called Section 5 recordings, so we thought that would be an ideal name for the shop! Its quite funny because "Section 5" came from a drugs act, If you get caught with any drugs by the police they charge you with section 5, Which was the main reason for the name. We have got a good sense of humour here. SCENE Why do you think people are attracted to buying there music from your shop? Steve Mainly because of the service we give them, we also have very experienced staff who are friendly and we treat every customer the same.There is no favouritism whether your a bedroom DJ or a top DJ! We also have a very good choice of music. SCENE What do you think of the hardcore and jungle scenes at the moment? Steve Very, very good, a lot more people are buying records and sales are up by a huge surge! Hardcore is not going out or dying, it is progressing and now its so well developed, more and more people are getting into it. SCENE Who works in your shop. Steve Younghead and myself, Rob is a part-timer (Steve laughs) SCENE What top DJ's shop at Section 5? Steve To name a few Grooverider, Jumping Jack Frost and Mickey Finn SCENE Do you have any plans to open any other shops? Steve Developing our Chelsea shop is my only aim at the moment, we want to make it bigger, so we can sell clothing and also have other floors which we could sell different types of dance music on! SCENE In the shop which labels sell the most for you? Steve Moving Shadow does well, Dillinger, V-Label, Suburban Base, Back 2 Basics,Prototype, Goldie and Metalheads, Reinforced SCENE What plans have you got for the future? Steve Mainly to stay in the scene and grow with it.. Its a career that I really enjoy. SCENE And finally have you any shouts? Steve We are on very good terms with all our customers - so they have to come first - Younghead, Ronnie at V, Rob at Shadow, Sub Base Danny, Nicky Blackmarket, Rider, Frost, Hype, Phil and Lance at Vinyl Distribution. Emma at S.R.D., Adam m, Harmony & Extreme, Cas, DJ Semtex ( HA! HA!), Jay from Atmosphere and all the people who have helped me out over the last few years.

DR. S. GACHET - HARDCORE DJ REVIEW INTERVIEW: TERRY TURBO After arranging a secret rendezvous with the vinylcologist outside the Rhythm Station in Aldershot we got an exclusive look into the world of the Gachet. What is your name? Mr. S. Gachet How old are you? If you don't mind us asking? I do mind you asking! Strictly classified for your eyes only material- sorry! Where does the name Dr. S. Gachet come from? The name was picked out of a dictionary. I was looking up the different meanings of different names and Gachet means 'Trigger of a gun'. I wanted something different for a name. I didn't want to be called DJ Teabag or something like that. I wanted people to see my name and think, who's he? 'S' in the Dr.S. means strange for all the people who know the real Gachet & he can be strange if he wants to be! How did your DJ career start? I've been playing since the 80's, I've been a mobile DJ, I've had my own sound system Balistic Hi-Fi, Intruder, Rozetta, I started playing Jazz, Soul, Funk and then it progressed into Rave, Acid house, hardcore and now Jungle. Its always been my hobby to play music, I've only been playing for the last 5 years seriously! Where was your first 'Big Break'? Sterns, the way I got the play was quite funny at the time, I was DJ-ing with Pigbag and we went to Sterns and Blagged a job doing security. Our records were in the car and we blagged the promoter to do a 1/2 hour set! What DJ's did you look for for inspiration? Colin Favour, Paul 'Trouble' Anderson, Froggy and people like that who are good mixers and any DJ that can do a good mix inspires me.When I first started off I'd heard some so called top DJ's mixing and believe me I could do better which made me want to become a DJ! Why do you think people booked you when you started off? When I used to send out tapes I used to do an audio maze radio show on my mix tapes, which involved me mixing in my own studio and giving shouts out to screaming Rachel (who is screaming Rachel???)It's the first name that came into my head, I just thought of a dirty bird 'screaming Rachel' (Gach Laughs) When I sent out my mix tapes people would ring me and ask what radio show it was from and it was a clever way of getting promoters to ring me and book me! I work differently to other DJ's and this was an original idea. (No, a strange idea!) What's the biggest event you've played at? The biggest and best party I've played at was swing, in Reading. It was ram packed and when the crowd made some noise it took the roof off! Do you like MC's and do you have any favourites? Yes! My favourite is MC Peakus, he was my MC and he has got the most amount of lyrics and very talented, his lyrics make sense! PEAKUS COME BACK YOU ARE WANTED BY THE GACHET A.S.A.P. MC GQ, MC Prince and MC Fearless are also in my opinion three of the best MC's in the country, so, really there are only 4 MC's in the UK who I really want MCing over my set! Most other MC's piss me off! The problem with MC's is they like to take over. They think people are there to see them, They are just there to hype the crowd! I prefer MC's when they mix just like how a DJ mixes the Records, they actually roll and chat in the mix, as opposing to reading a book! Have you got any tracks coming out on labello? Yes I've got a new record coming out soon, There are 4 plates of it going around, one side is called 'The Dreamer' and the other side is called 'Touch my Toes'. Why do you think you've been so successful? Because I've worked hard for it, I don't sit on my arse and I've been shouting and screaming and

everything, I've earnt it but I'm still not as successfull and big as I'd like to be! I'm not content with myself at the moment, I'd like to be alot bigger and better. What style of music do you play? I am very versatile, I can cater for any crowd, Jungle Crowd, Happy Crowd and Techno Crowd no matter where it is I can cater for it! Have you got a favourite club or rave that you play at regularly? Yes! A.W.O.L. at the Paradise Club I can really let off & Play my favourite styles of upfront music and it goes down well, The punters in the Paradise are a very educated crowd! Where else have you played Abroad? I've played in Germany, Ibiza and Belfast - I'd like to play out more abroad and I think 95 is going to be my year for playing abroad. Which other DJ's Do you rate at the moment? I rate Randall, technically he is good and musically as well! (Up and comings) Nut E1, Probe and Ash A Tack. (Fabio for being different and Grooverider). What's been your most embarrassing moment as a DJ? When I was playing Paradise once I was cutting up the crossfade and cut up the record so much when I'd finished doing the mix I was so confused I didn't Know what deck I'd cut out and in so I took the wrong needle off the record that was playing and greeted the Paradise club with silence. MC GQ said on the mike" and Gachet is wearing suspenders tonight" and it totally embarrassed me! What's the worst part of being a DJ? When people bump into you when there lagging, that's got to be the ultimate, especially when they tell you that there paying your fucking wages and there not! (PRIVATE JOKE - ONE NATION, RHYTHM STATION) Where do you buy your tunes from? I go to Record Basement, Reading. Blackmarket, Lucky Spin in London. I get all my dub plates cut at Music House. Big shout to Chris (Music House) (Plug , Plug ... sort us out some cheap plates!) And finally, any shouts Gach? Yes! Labello Blanco, Chris and Jay, World Dance, To all DJ's on the circuit that Know the Gachet and a big shout out to all the people who support the Gachet - Respect!

This being my first United Dance event i hoped it would live up to my expectations, as the venue was 90 miles away, but the people in my car went to the last one in May and assured me that it was more than worth the trip. We arrived at 11 o'clock to be greeted by some of the friendliest security I have met in a long while after a quick search we were straight into the main arena to hear a wicked set by Ellis Dee. This massive venue was rammed with a happy jumpin crowd, wicked atmosphere. The 100ft screens were a total headf**k, Wicked! Main highlights of the night had to be Mickey Finn and Slipmatt, Ruff sets. Respect to MC MC, who kept the crowd moving all night. Towards the end of the evening a surprise set by the Rat Pack covering for Sy who was late, Sent the crowd into a Frenzy. Big up to the Dancer in the red top. 100% sexy. All in all, the best night I have had out in a long time. Production 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Totally Wicked Cant wait until the next one on 30th September.If its half as good as the last one it definitely is worth the drive however far! Respect goes out to the Turbo Cru, Chris United dance, Karen, Temptation, Pete + Mick for persuading me to go. Review: Mad Marc

JUNGLE SPLASH 6TH AUGUST AT THE ROLLER EXPRESS When Jungle Splash put on their latest event we went along to see just why they've been so successful. We caught up with Lance and Paul a duo who put on some of the best events back in the good old day's and haven't looked back since! SCENE Where and when was your first party and how long have Jungle Splash parties been going ? SPLASH Our first event was 'VIETNAM' at the Rocket in May 94.But before then we did club Ibiza and The Original Homerton dance party's right back to the acid house scene! SCENE What are your views on the jungle scene present and future SPLASH Jungle today is the progression of the acid house scene. Somewhere everyone can go, to have a good time without any bad attitude Jungles future we see as becoming too commercialised with jungle charts and top ten. This is something we've all got to prevent from happening. SCENE You also run one of London's top record shops and record labels Ibiza Record's 464 Kingsland Road Dalston London E8 Has the recession affected business? SPLASH NO! Jungle is a music that rises out of recession, it attracts people who want to forget about day to day problems and enjoy themselves. SCENE What records should we look out for on your label. SPLASH Warning by Potential Bad Boy, that's going to be big and everything on the Ibiza Label. SCENE What DJ's and MC's do you rate. SPLASH Kenny Ken (The original No 1) Brockie (He's a safe geezer) Red Ant (Just hear him play tonight) MC's Dett, Navigator, Five 'O', Moose Lance and Paul from Ibiza/Jungle Splash would like to say a big thankyou to all supporters old and new. We arrived mid way through Red Ants set but were in time to hear some of the best jungle tunes coming from the specially reinforced D.J. Bunker and the music just got better from then on.All through the night the crowd were kept buzzin by the usual high standard of sound system and light and laser display, and the MC's just kept saying what the crowd wanted to hear. To sum up the night "JUNGLE SPLASH ARE MAKING WAVES IN 94" INTER VIEW: RUDE BOY ROY 18 THE SCENE MAGAZINE

A.W.O.L. AT THE MINISTRY OF SOUND! Having been to an AWOL at the Ministry before I Knew it was going to be good, and I wasn't Wrong. As I walked in I was met with pumpin house and garage but I wasn't there for that, so I walked into the next room and to my joy was greeted by Randall on the decks and oh Gosh! what a set he took the roof off the gaff playing the finest Drum & Bass. Looking around the room everyone was having it major no-one was standing still so off to dance I went. MC GQ was on fine form as usual requesting rewind after rewind along with the crowd. I couldn't believe the amount of celebrity DJ's and MC's that were there for a night out. The sound system was excellent, really clear and loud and to me that's what makes a good night. After Randall, The Dr.S.Gachet stepped up on the decks and played probably the best set I've ever heard him play. Pulling out dub plate after dub plate, Gachet was followed by Darren Jay, a personal favourite DJ of mine and played the business in there, the crowd loved him and he had countless number of rewinds which everyone was just going mad for. Through Darren Jay's set I walked in the House and Garage room and it was jumpin in there due to Roy the Roach, an excellent set was played and it was well appreciated by the crowd. I walked back to catch the last 10 mins of Darren jay who was then followed by the last DJ of the night Micky Fabulous Finn who played another excellent set. Unfortunately I missed Kenny Ken but I'd heard from friends he played to his normal jungle soundclash champion standard. All in an excellent night respect to Chris and Jay and make it a date for the next one.

RUDE - CLUB REVIEW Naughty but nice - every Friday night the Rude crew touch down at the SW1 Club in Victoria! We've heard about this X-rated night and as we were all over eighteen years of age we gained admission to this Rude Night. After a brief meeting in the office we were introduced to the promoters Andy & Anselm! SCENE When did you start doing Rude at the SW1? Rude Our first night was on the 23rd september, 1993. SCENE Have you done any other events other than Rude? Rude Yes! Andy used to do one off parties called 'Quim" and I used to do one offs in Bristol called 'Passion' SCENE Why do you think your clubs been so successful? Rude We always have 2 top Dj's every week and 1 up and coming. We've been going nearly a year now and our first birthday is on 2nd September we've had all the top DJ's on the circuit from Italy, America, & EUROPE ! We always aim our nights at the people. Every week you hear the best music, feel the best atmosphere and meet the best crowd, If you used to go out in 1989 to parties, that is the tip we are on! FACT Party goers and other promoters have congratulated Andy and Anselm on their Friday night as it has to be one of the best Friday nights in the U.K.! Anselm Guise (One of the promoters) is not just a good looking chap, he is also a DJ and has been playing on the London circuit for 3 years! SCENE What other media coverage have you had? Rude We have had B.P.M. do a feature on us, Sky Magazine, Mixmag and some smaller articles in other mags! SCENE Tell us about your secrets for running a top night? Rude Every week the club improves and we regularly get live PA's to come and perform at our club, we had D-ream before they had chart success and international fame. We recognise talent immediately and if a DJ or PA is good we get them to perform at our club! Each night is planned as if it is a one off party and the SW1 club is transformed into a sphere of rudeness, the SW1 club is not the SW1 club on a friday, it is RUDE. Other promoters take the scene to seriously. We approach it with a light hearted sense of humour and if you pick up our flyers you will see where we are coming from! SCENE And finally have you any shouts? Rude Andy and Anselm would like to thank all the people who have helped them out over the last year - especially all the punters who come to Rude every Friday'. Emma, Jess, Chris and Jay for there help! Watch out for the phoenix and Rude who put on a monthly party at the Ministry of Sound in the V.I.P lounge on the 2nd last Saturday in every month. CLUB SUMMARY We have a confession to make. We have attended Rude for a number of weeks and feel that Rude make full use of the SW1 club and the crowd which they attract are 100% party people. The atmosphere is electric, the music is on a happy and uplifting tip and on a Friday for a bumping night of good house music, go to Rude. 12/10 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK- KEEP THE SCENE ALIVE!

W10 081 968 5784 WORLD DANCE REVIEW We arrived at 9pm & what a queue - we had heard that the event was sold out & after walking around the venue & staying till the end we could safely say that this was World Dance's biggest and best event! The music policy was wicked. A nice mixture of Happy, Dark & Jungle being delivered by some of the U.K's top DJ's! Out of all that played Dougal, Kenny Ken, DJ SY & Ellis D played in my opinion the best sets of the night! The fun fair rides were free & the only upsetting bit of the night was when we bumped into DJ Seduction & and he had forgotten his bucket and spade - I was really looking forward to building a sandcastle ! (Only joking). The night was totally wicked - Good sound system, Excellent laser and light show & the sand on the floor was a novelty which made the beach party a beach party. If you hear about World Dances next event on November 5th - make sure you buy your tickets early! Don't miss out.Massive respects to Chris, Jay & Paul ( The man with the funny glasses). 10/10 Review: Terry Turbo THE SCENE MAGAZINE

After a couple of meetings in complete secrecy we managed to Track down & Interview one of the Top "007" secret agents of the house scene- John "00" Fleming! JOHN '00' FLEMING INTERVIEW Q What is your real name & age? 007 Fleming, John Fleming & I'm 25. Q Where did you get the '00' from? 007 Ian Fleming wrote James Bond stories & I was nick named "00" Fleming which I DJ under because his surname was the same as mine. Q How long have you been playing? 007 For about 10 years - I started buying a mobile disco type system out of the catalogue which got me the taste for DJ-ing I started playing at under 18's parties at Sterns, worthing when it was a Sharon & Tracey club & I did play Sharon & Tracey Music (John laughs). When i was sixteen I even done the talking over the mike bit. Sterns then split into two- with an upstairs & a downstairs - with underground Dance music downstairs and House and garage upstairs. I was then made resident and then played upstairs. Q What styles of music have you played throughout your career? 007 I used to play Hardcore, House & Classic Anthems, but now I mainly play hard house with all the club classics thrown in! Q Why do you think you've been a successful DJ? 007 Probably because I play for the crowd - some DJ's play for themselves - which I disagree with - when people go out they should be able to ask the DJ to play requests - If i've got the Records - I will play requests all night! Q Do you play a set? 007 Not really - I play requests & records I think will go down well - I don't have a set of records I play at every club. Q Do you have a favourite club to play at? 007 The Zap club in Brighton is the best club for people and atmosphere. Q How many places do you play out at the weekend? 007 At the moment I've got 3 residencies on a Friday & and 2 on a Saturday & 1 on a Sunday !. Q Do you like live percussionists 007 If they only play their percussion instruments now & again - I don't mind them - But if they play over my mixing & when breaks come in - I don't want them. I prefer to play without any help from MC's or Percussionists. Q What do you think of the Hardcore and Jungle scenes at the moment? 007 I do listen to it occasionally - I think it's Alright. I was well into it in 89 & 90 when I was doing my own rave rave down in Worthing called "The Factory" Q What are your plans for the future? 007 To concentrate on my DJ-ing - I've phoned up and sent tapes to lots of promoters who haven't booked me & I've gone to there events & clubs and seen DJ's playing who are not as good as me which is really down heart ing - but I have got quite a lot of work on at the moment and hopefully 1995 will be my year! Q Have you played abroad? 007 I've played all around America & I've played in Florida a lot & all the carribean islands. I've also played in Spain - (Magaluf + Ibiza). Q Where do you buy your records from? 007 I buy my records from Across the Tracks, Worthing, Openhouse Records, Worthing, & Inner Rhthym in Brighton. Q Do you have any advice for up & coming DJ's? YES! Stick at what your doing- don't give up! Have your own style & Don't play the same music as everyone else is playing - Be original & be different! Q And finally your shouts? 007 Amy (Miss Money Penny), Chas (Que). All promoters, DJ's and everyone who knows me! IF YOU WOULD LIKE A TAPE OF JOHN "00" FLEMING OR YOU WOULD LIKE TO BOOK HIM RING (0850) 992978 Good luck to "00" Fleming on all his future missions & we hope that you continue in being the secret agent for the house and garage scene!
